From the Wikipedia Article on Eve Online

<WRAP round box> Eve Online is a player-driven, persistent-world massively multiplayer online role-playing game set in a science fiction space setting, developed and published by CCP Games. Characters pilot customizable ships through a galaxy of 7,800 star systems. Read More... </WRAP>

Great! You can get started by using the thirty day trial link from the sidebar on the left.

Welcome to EVE Online and congratulations on starting your career. Although EVE Online is famous for having a notoriously difficult learning curve, CCP Games have invested a tremendous amount of time and effort to improve the experience for new players.

During your first thirty days in Eve Online, you shall automatically join the in-game chat channel Rookie Help whenever you start the game. This channel, which is staffed by Gamemasters and ISD Star members, is where you can ask any questions you have about the game. You can also post your questions on the EVE New Citizens Q&A forum.

CCP Games have created a comprehensive Eve Online New Pilot FAQ that has answers to frequently asked questions by new EVE Online players. Although there are a few sections in the Eve Online New Pilot FAQ that are out of date, we still recommend that you go through it because for the most part the information it provides is still useful.

Experienced players often joke about how Eve Online is basically a game of spreadsheets in space. Since EVE Online's user interface, though much better now than it used to be in previous years, can resemble a spreadsheet when you are starting out, the Brave Dojo team have put together a tutorial that will help you learn about the user interface.

Since the overview is what you use to view and organize items in space, it is absolutely essential that you set it up and learn how to use it as soon as possible. Almost all players prefer to install an overview pack that sets up their overview automatically instead of taking the time to configure each setting manually.

Our recommendation and how to install

Opportunities were released in 2015 to improve the experience for new players. Since you do not get any rewards right now for completing opportunities, we recommend that you complete the easier opportunities and then focus on getting started with the career agents.

All four of the major factions have five career agents in each of their three starter systems that offer mission arcs which will introduce you to the major careers in Eve Online. To see a list of the career agents that are available to you, press F12 to open the Help menu and click on the Show Career Agents button.

You should run all the missions offered by each of the career agents because not only will you learn more about the different careers, you will also earn a reward whenever you successfully complete an accepted mission.

The Sisters of Eve epic mission arc is a level one epic mission arc with fifty missions that are intended to be run by new players. What makes an epic mission arc unique is that you can choose between missions at various points in the arc.

This means that there are multiple paths that you can take to complete the arc and that the missions and their rewards depend on the choices you have made. The Blood-Stained Stars walkthrough is an excellent resource that will help you in running the Sisters of Eve epic mission arc.

Playing Eve Online alone is not as much fun as when you are playing it with a group of friends. This is why there is an opportunity encouraging new players to join a corporation after they have finished running the Sisters of Eve epic mission arc.

If you would like to join one of the corporations in our alliance then please check out these links:

While you are waiting for your application to be processed, please take some time to go through the information below to find out what you should do next and learn about the dangers that you will face after you accept your invitation to join one of the corporations in our alliance.

What you need to do first is to prepare your personal assets so that you can sell them for the highest amount of ISK or pay a third-party freight service to ship them. Please read the tutorial that Brave Logistics have put together to help you decide.

War declarations are a game mechanic that let corporations and/or alliances fight each other in high or low security space without intervention from CONCORD or security status loss. After you join one of the corporations in our alliance, members of those corporations or alliances who have declared war on us will be able to attack you freely in high or low security space.

War targets in high security space can almost always be found camping the major trade hubs such as Jita, Amarr, Dodixie, Rens and Hek. Although you can use instadock and instaundock bookmarks to use the major trade hubs, you are still at risk of losing your ship. If you want to use the major trade hubs after joining us, we highly recommend that you create a neutral alt for this purpose.

Besides war targets, if you are flying an industrial ship in high security space you also need to be aware of suicide gankers. These are players who will attack you even though they know that they will lose their ships to CONCORD. Their goal is to destroy your ship and hope that any valuable items that you have in your cargo hold drop so that they can loot them using an alt. The best way to deter suicide gankers is to be sensible about the value of the items in your cargo hold.

CONCORD will not intervene when players fight each other in low security space. However, gate or station guns will attack you if you attack a player who is not a legal target within their 150 km range. You will also lose your security status whenever you attack an illegal target.

In addition to war targets and suicide gankers, when you are travelling through low security space you also have to be aware of gate camps, especially those with instalockers or smartbombers. Rancer and Tama are low security space systems that are notorious for being camped by pirates.

There is no CONCORD in null security space, which means that you do not get attacked by gate or station guns, or lose your security status when you attack another player. When you are in null security space, assume that all neutrals are hostile. You also have to be aware of bubbles that can be anchored or launched by certain ships because they will prevent you from warping if you are in them.

Additionally, when you are travelling through null security space, you will not be able to dock in any station owned by a player corporation or alliance unless your corporation or alliance has the appropriate standings or that station is in Freeport Mode.

Now that you know about the dangers that you will face, you should practice your safe movement techniques after reading this tutorial. We highly recommend that you do this before you accept your invitation to join one of the corporations in our alliance so that you are able to gain some practical experience without having to manage the stress of an actual combat situation.

Thank you for joining the Brave Collective. In this section you will receive a brief explanation of why it is important that you go through all the links under the "Are You a New Alliance Member?" section on the Getting Started page, as well as some additional information.

The Brave Dojo is an alliance-level initiative managed by Brave Education whose mission is to help players who are new to EVE Online. Please join the in-game chat channel Brave Dojo if you have any questions about the game. After you have set up our IT services, you will also be able to find us in our voice chat channel (Brave Collective » BRAVE Dojo » Dojo Main) on our Mumble server.

It is absolutely critical that you set up our IT services after you have joined us. If you do not set them up, some of the things that will happen are: We will not be able to help you easily, you will not know about our active alliance campaigns, and you will not be able to participate in fleets that are going out.

The next step after setting up our IT services is getting to know what the corporation that you have joined is doing. Since each corporation does things differently, some good ways to find out what you need to know are to read the welcome mail that you received when you joined, to check the MOTD of the in-game Corp chat channel, or to simply ask other corporation members using either your corporation's voice chat channel or the in-game Corp chat channel.

After you know what your corporation is doing, it is time for you to read the latest alliance announcements so that you know what our alliance is up to. We really hope that you were paying attention earlier and set up our IT services, because you are going to need access to our alliance forums to be able to browse the announcements forum.

Once you are a member of the Brave Collective, you need to learn how to take care of your personal assets, especially if the corporation that you have joined is staging from a station in sovereign null security space or from a system in wormhole space.

To be able to participate in alliance fleets with the support of our alliance ship replacement program, you need to start training to use our alliance fleet doctrines as soon as possible.

You can sell items that you have acquired to our buyback programs to save yourself the trouble of having to export them to a trade hub and selling them yourself. Although your profits are typically ten percent less, using a buyback program is still an excellent option for new players who often require quick ISK.

A special interest group is a community of alliance members who share a common interest or goal. If you are interested in participating in a specific activity in Eve Online, then joining a special interest group that is focused on that activity will allow you to easily find other alliance members who share the same interest as you. </WRAP>
